Happy New Year!! It has been a few months since I posted an Empties blog. You would think there would be tons of products over the last few months,but I really didn't finish a whole lot.

Too Faced Born This Way Foundation - I use the shade Sand, however I feel it is a little too dark for me during the winter months. I have 2 more bottles but I may switch to a lighter shade.

Marc Jacobs Genius Gel Foundation - I had some samples in the shade Bisque Medium and since I was looking for a lighter shade, I thought I'd give it a try. It is not a full coverage foundation so I think this will be perfect for the summer months.

Diorskin Nude Air in Medium Beige - I found this foundation to be a bit watery when I opened the sample but as I read the description it is a foundation serum so it made sense. I like the light weight fell it had on my skin and it had a pretty fragrance smell which you don't find in many foundations.

Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer - My favorite thing about this primer is the coconut smell. I also like the fact that it is hydrating and smoothing and creates a nice canvas to apply your favorite foundation.

Caudalie Micellar Water - A
soap-free micellar water that attracts and traps dirt, oil, and makeup
to gently remove impurities and cleanse your complexion without drying
out the skin. This
micellar water uses molecules like magnets to lift dirt, oil, and
makeup from the face and eyes, as it soothes, moisturizes, and softens
skin. There’s no need to rub for a thorough cleanse, just a quick swipe
and makeup easily clings to the formula. Enjoy the refreshing feeling on
skin and the uplifting fragrance from orange and lemon blossom,
watermelon, and mint leaves.

Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Pressed Setting Powder - As I mentioned in my last Empties post,I only used loose powder to set my makeup. That was
until this pressed powder came into my life. It minimizes the appearance
of pores leaving my skin with a soft focus matte finish. My foundation
lasts all day without the need for a touch up.

Kat Von D Unlock It Makeup Remover Wipes - A pack of powerful yet gentle, oil-free makeup remover wipes that effectively eliminate long-wear, high-pigment makeup. Bold
formulas begone - this pack of 30 wipes effortlessly unlocks makeup for
a clean, refreshed complexion so skin is left ready for your next
artistic adventure. The gentle texture is safe for use on face, eyes,
and lips, and the smooth fibers promise not to irritate even the most
sensitive skin. The antibacterial formula absorbs all moisture,
eliminating potential for build-up. Fragrance-free and bio-degradable,
this pack makes for a great travel companion.

Too Cool For School Egg Mellow Cream - This firming moisturizer works as a serum, priming moisturizer, eye
cream, neck cream, and sleeping mask in one. It's highly enriched with
egg yolk extract, albumen (egg white) extract, and inka omega oil to
provide intensive nourishment to skin. It is also infused with collegen
fiber to support the appearance of more elastic skin.

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Rose - Celebrate with Viva la Juicy Rosé, a light-hearted toast to the forever
vibrant Viva girl. This effervescent fragrance pops with fizzy citrus
perfection and sparkles in a dew of jasmine and honey-like pink blossoms
for a dreamy scent that is kissed by the glow of sensual amber.

The scent opens with the fresh fruity notes of Italian mandarin and
William pear intertwining with soft, dewy jasmine petals. At the heart,
rose centifolia blooms into a honey-like floralcy next to white peony
and jasmine sambac. Accented with decadent ambrox, sensual orris absolu,
and warm benzoin, the fragrance leaves the Viva Rosé girl with an air
of mischievous sophistication.
